Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Pleural effusion after treatment cause pleural thickening and this in turn causes chest pain on deep breathing, coughing, sneezing etc.
This is normal thing. No need to worry for this.
But better to get done chest x ray at present.
If this is normal then no need to worry for this pain.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.
You can take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen occasionally if pain is unbearable.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
